  1. That "Davidson" Superliner sure could use a little loving. Too bad it has been neglected.
  2. In bright yellow! Not original to the truck which had been born as a single axle "T"
  3. Time to get some generic interior trim screws that will work at the hardware store. Pure insanity!!! Are the brands looking at the perception of their business with the message that the price of the screws send to the customer? Funny that this situation involves screws. Buying decision time.... We need a new piece of equipment. Do we go with another VOE which was priced OK but nickel and dimed us on the back end or look for something else? The business pencil pusher would have fun adding the cost of those screws and other overpriced replacement parts into the equipment's life cycle cost analysis. What good is it to sell a bunch of trucks or equipment just to have them clog your service bays for warranty work due to cheaply made or poorly designed OEM parts that "saved" the manufacturer money at build time? Do the manufacturers look at warranty as being free or low cost? 5 cents saved at time of manufacture will certainly cost them more than 5 cents at warranty time. Realize your story wasn't a warr. story. Just venting.
  4. OMG! That is ridiculous!
  5. Fine looking Dog!
  6. Nice rigs seen at the Spa 2019.
  7. Send a PM to "fifth wheel" through the BMT site. He had replacement gaskets last I knew.
  8. Looks Good! Time to make the garage door a little bit bigger.
  9. Maxion says they can make them. http://www.maxionwheelsandrims.com/steel-rims
  10. Holy Shit! I guess it is good that he is not hurt but he needs a good talking to. Now we will never know what was causing the noise... Only thing missing is "Hold my beer and watch this!"
  11. Heavy tractor from the Sterling Motor Truck, Co. of Milwaukee, WI.
  12. Stylish rig for waste materials final ride.
  13. A Bitsa. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
  14. Good looking hauler powered by Cummins.
  15. Equipped with a pintle hitch on the heavy steel front bumper, extra large air cleaner housing and an Allison transmission. Seen at the Spa 2019.
  16. Think you will need to stay with a 673 or 711 style balancer. Is the crank bolt tight? New noises or vibration?
  17. Saw this little rig today. Markings on the dashboard indicate it had been a military vehicle. Exterior painted with a roller. Modified sheet metal for the front mounted winch.
  18. We can only dream at this point. Mack used to make some fine heavy iron...
  19. You have a Continental 271. The pump can be rebuilt unless something really bad has happened. Clark forklifts used Continental engines for many years so cores should be out there if needed. You could check with these folks or cruise the web for water pump rebuilders. http://www.waterpumpkit.com/home.html
  20. Wasn't able to verify what was under the hood. The door tag said 773 which is for a DD 8V71N, but it appeared the tag had been moved around. Either way , it looked like a fine puppy to visit the Spa.
  21. Saw this picture on ebay of the crew all over the Mack. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MACK-B-series-Waylon-Jennings-Band-Equipment-Semi-Macungie-PA-Photo-48-RARE/323724215285?hash=item4b5f7783f5:g:LqUAAOSwhspb3PhO
  22. Yup, I used a Donaldson off a DM for my B75. It has a bit more space to mount the filter compared to a B42 so one a little shorter will have to be on the shopping list.
